<p> EPURMESS is a tool which allows for modification of messages: status,
</p>
<pre>removal, or archiving. This tool is called every night by the BBS in order to<br>maintain the message list as a function of the time.<br><br> The EPURMESS configuration is made by the text file EPURMESS.INI. The<br>parameters which are contained are given as a suggestion, and can be edited<br>later if needed, to suit the targeted archiving and the mass of messages and<br>bulletins received.<br><br> EPURMESS searches the current directory for its EPURMESS.INI initialization<br>file. In that file, it will find out all the parameters for processing, as<br>well as the file name for the report EPURMESS.RES (this file name can be<br>changed in the EPURMESS.INI file).<br><br> At the beginning of the process, EPURMESS first copies <a href="fmtdirme.htm">DIRMES.SYS</a> into<br>DIRMES.OLD to keep an archive trace of the previous file, then creates<br>DIRMES.NEW, in which the processing will take place. At the end of the<br>process, DIRMES.NEW will be copied into DIRMES.SYS. A report of the<br>processing will be written in the EPURMESS.RES file.<br><br> If the last update of the <a href="fmtdirme.htm">DIRMES.SYS</a> file has been carried out more than 24<br>hours ago, EPURMESS will not make its process, in order to avoid any loss of<br>data due to a possible clock error in the system. It will report the error in<br>the EPURMESS.RES file. In such a case, after the reason of the error has been<br>detected, it will be necessary to suppress the EPURMESS.RES report file, in<br>order to re-enable the processing.<br><br> The ARCHIVE line has two digits, the first one applies to private messages<br>and the second to bulletins. The '1' digit validate the archiving while the<br>'0' will suppress the messages once and for all.<br><br> It is possible to specify origins, destinations or routing for which the<br>obsolete time (X status) are different from the default values. These<br>particular cases are specified at the end of the file with the form of<br>supplementary lines. Each line specifies a particular case.<br><br> The line should begin with the character which specifies the field to be<br>tested, then the content of the field and then the number of days before the<br>status X is given.<br><br> Ex :<br> > ALL 1<br><br> The messages for ALL will be valid only one day.<br><br> Example of EPURMESS.INI file:<br><br><br># File for deciding messages' lifetime..<br>#<br># Directory for messages<br>\FBB\MAIL\<br>#<br># Directory for binary-messages<br>\FBB\BINMAIL\<br>#<br># Directory for "killed" messages<br>\fbb\OLDMAIL\<br>#<br># The file DIRMES.SYS (database-file)<br>\fbb\system\DIRMES.SYS<br>#<br># Old database-file (backup)<br>\fbb\system\DIRMES.OLD<br>#<br># New database-file (after EPURMESS (cleanup))<br>\fbb\system\DIRMES.NEW<br>#<br># Result of cleanup is put into this file:<br>\FBB\EPURMESS.RES<br>#<br># Personal Bulletins (0=kill 1=archive in oldmail)<br>0 0<br>#<br># Parametres in days:<br>#<br># PARAMETRES FOR PERSONAL MESSAGES:<br>#<br># PN -> PX (days after message is written)<br>30<br>#<br># PY -> PX (days after changed to Y)<br>7<br>#<br># PF -> PK (days after changed to F)<br>7<br>#<br># PX -> PK (days after changed to X)<br>0<br>#<br># PK -> PA (days after changed to K)<br>0<br>#<br># PARAMETRES FOR BULLETINS<br>#<br># BN -> BX (days after the message is written)<br>7<br>#<br># B$ -> BX (days after the message is written)<br>7<br>#<br># BY -> BX (days after changed to Y)<br>7<br>#<br># BX -> BK (days after changed to X)<br>14<br>#<br># BF -> BX (days after message is written)<br>14<br>#<br># BK -> BA (days after changed to K)<br>0<br>#<br># Automatic generated return-messages for non-forwarded messages.<br># Each line may be max 255 characters long.
